They did not remove the found function, it is a software issue they are aware of and are working on it. The paperless is great, diffculty and terrain levels, type, description and last 5 logs. I do not find it hard to enter inforation by hand, had a puzzle cache I had to enter and it went fairly quickly. It is a little different and may take someone use to another way some time to get good with it. They are working hard on making unit very cacher freindly. I love mine so far.

That was his point, currently it has a number of issues which he thinks will be resolved with software upgrades in the future. His suggestion was to wait until they patch/fix those issues, and who knows by that time they may have a new model out with other great features. Not saying it is a bad GPS, just that if you get one, expect the normal early adopter stuff, glitches and bugs that will most likely go away over time, but might be irksome in the mean time.

Garmin has addressed the geocaching issues with an update. Caches show on the map, different icons for different types. You can now go to cache and mark cache
"Found"
"Did not find"
"Needs Repair"
"Unattempted"
You can also load your finds from the Colorado directly to geocaching.com. This unit is turning out great.

Maybe it is different for the Colo. series, but with my 60 Cx I went with the CD based maps because Garmin makes it very clear if you somehow screw up your SD card your loss, no replacements. I only know this from a Map series I got of Switzerland from them that was only available on SD type media. It comes on a microSD that looks like any other blank one you'd pick up at Best Buy or wherever.

My thing is I like to load caches as POI's now, (have all of MN loaded on the card) as well as putting in other custom POI's I've found like the Twins Radio Network (too cheap to get XM but can't get KSTP while driving around the state, or 5 miles away from their transmitter... search that POI database and it will show you the nearest Twins affiliate that you can tune it, it's slick) The thing about all these is they store to your SD memory, so if you have one of the preloaded SD cards I don't know how those play with POI data. I'd hate to have to POI data screw up the maps somehow. Whereas the CD version if something gets screwed up no big deal, just reload it off Mapsource and away you go! Maybe someone here has better insight into how the two interact with one another, but doing any writing/rewriting on a card that costs that much would make me nervous. Like I said the Colorado series might address the issue in a totally different method though, although I kind of doubt it.

I think where I was struggling was the switching between the Topo (pre-loaded) and City Navigator. As Brad said, it looks like it is just a button click to swith them.

The other issue is the licensing. I've talked with Garmin. They have gone to one unlock code per license (too bad since I had an extra sitting around). If you buy the CD and load the software, that software is then permanently tied to that physical GPS. If you buy the SD card, it can be used in any GPS that it is compatible with.

Given all that, I decided to go with loading the software. Found a good deal on it on Amazon. I want to have the SD space free for other stuff (don't know exactly what yet).
